We had a mouse problem and used tamper-proof poison boxes, which worked but the mice managed to get the poison out. There are pieces of the poison around, and we are concerned about potential tiny pieces or powder that we can't see. How much of a concern is this for our dog, who was not in the room with the poison but could have potentially come into contact with it?

My 6-month-old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix named Noodles has been experiencing diarrhea and a loss of appetite since yesterday afternoon. She has normal energy levels and no signs of pain or vomiting. There is no blood in her stools, but she had two loose stools followed by a solid one and then another loose one. What should I do?

My dog just had a seizure (the first I am aware of), it lasted maybe 5-10 minutes, he did not lose consciousness, went stiff, and then vomited. Afterwards he is acting completely normal, went outside to relieve himself. There was nothing abnormal that I couldn't identify in his vomit, he does not have access to anything that he could eat that could poison him. Can I wait to take him to my vet in the morning?

My 3-year-old Bearded Collie, Calli, has developed a cough that seems more like choking or having something stuck in her throat, which sometimes causes her to spit up saliva or throw up food. She has been exposed to other dogs daily and is on anxiety meds (SSRI and Clonidine). What could this be, and what can I do to help her?
